Measuring the rigid body behaviour of a deep groove ball bearing setup
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a novel test rig, developed to analyse the behaviour of rolling element bearings subjected to highly varying loads. The design is optimised to measure the bearing behaviour, free from dynamics of the surrounding structure. A test bearing is mounted in a floating housing supported by flexible air springs, providing a preload force on the bearing. This allows measuring the rigid body motion of the bearing in its housing, free from external disturbances. The paper discusses the effect of preload on the modal behaviour of the bearing. Also, stationary and operational conditions are compared.

Isotropic etching technique for three-dimensional microball-bearing raceways
A multi-step plasma etching technique is developed to obtain deep-grooved micro-scale ball-bearing raceways and employed in the fabrication of multiple ball-bearing supported microturbines. Deep-groove geometry has been chosen for the microball-bearing systems because of the ability to handle mixed axial and radial loads, allowing for stable, high-speed operation compared to previous iterations...
متن کاملVibration Analysis of deep groove ball bearing using Finite Element Analysis
Rolling element bearing is essential part of machinery. The rolling bearing, with outer ring fixed, is a multi body mechanical system with rolling elements that transmit motion and load from the inner raceway to the outer raceway. The rolling bearings dynamical behaviour analysis is an important condition to determine the machine vibration response. Modern trend of Dynamic analysis is useful in...

Stribeck’s publications ‘Kugellager für beliebige Belastungen’ and ‘Die wesentlichen Eigenschaften der Gleitund Rollenlager’ were remarkable for their time. Many of the findings were revolutionary and are still considered quite modern. The method used by Stribeck to calculate load distribution between the balls within a ball bearing is still used today, otherwise, a full finite element analysis...
متن کاملSimulation of Rolling Element Bearings
Rolling bearings are high precision, low cost machine elements, used in all kinds of rotating machinery. Simulations of rolling bearings bring increased understanding of their dynamic behaviour, and shortens product development time. A rolling bearing simulation model called BEAST (BEAring Simulation Tool), has been developed by SKF. Due to the high demands on contact geometry description and c...

Abstract: Rotating bending fatigue tests have been performed using smooth specimens of a rolled AZ31 magnesium alloy in laboratory air at ambient temperature. Fatigue strength and characteristic was evaluated and fracture mechanism was discussed on the basis fracture surface analysis. Electrical polishing (EP) as well as deep rolling (ball burnishing (BB)) U-notched specimens were performed on ...
